ABIDJAN, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Ivory Coast is expected to process a record 847,000 tonnes of cocoa beans by 2022 as agro-industry firms are expected to increase their grinding capacity, the Ivorian minister of industry and trade said on Tuesday.

Minister Souleymane Diarrassouba told the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) that US-based Cargill will increase its grinding capacity in the country from 110,000 tonnes currently to 170,000 tonnes in 2021.
